I goofed on the last one. That is Illicium parviflorum and not I. floridanum. I have covered the plant many times and just had a talking brain misfire. Thanks for watching!
I’m late to the game but am slowly but surely working through older videos and getting my HortTube education. The foundation plant playlist is MASSIVE and massively helpful. Thank you! 🌱🌿🍂🍁
THANK YOU!!! You just made my job much easier!! It’s great to have all the information needed for choosing fast growing hedges condensed in a 30 min video.
Perfect timing, Jim! I have a bunch of holes in various mixed screening hedges across a massive property. I think I have a use case for each of these shrubs. Fantastic content for Fall planting!
WONDERFUL video! Perfect for those of us looking for particular size, etc. plants. Please do more of these. They are great because I really trust your experience and expertise. Thanks Jim ❤️
Jim, you have done it again. Great video. Every shrub I have in my yard is because of you. I also have 3 Little Gem Magnolia’s and to my surprise in zone 9 Texas, they are flowering again.

Thank you for your videos. You really are a great source of information and are very helpful to your viewers. Because of your numerous videos I was able to score Chindo’s, Nellie R Steven Hollies, Whoa Nellies and Privet for a mixed border. All for a reasonable price! This year I got some bigger Whoa Nellies to add to the border. The bigger they are, the brighter it gets. All my plants are growing pretty fast even the ones I have in shade.
Great video. Thank you so much for having the name of the plant down at the bottom of the screen, while you are talking about it!!! VERY HELPFUL!!! 🎉🎉🎉
We used a yoshino Cryptomeria in our front yard as a specimen tree near the road to block out an unsightly view across the street...its 3 yrs old now and its put on a ton of growth this year doing exactly what we need it to do! Along the back of our property we put in 3 Carolina sapphire that are growing SUPER FAST and outpacing everything else we put in that screen. Thank you for this list!
헬로우, 사랑하는 친구, 자연에 둘러쌓여 있는 삶은 너무나 푸르르고 아름다워요. 행복하고 즐거운 시간 함께합니다. Thank you very much. Dear my friend😍🌹👍Have a happy day.🤗 I am always cheering for you. 😍👍
So much wisdom in this video thank you! I have a 2 acre yard with lots of old trees but basically no shrugs. ALL my neighbors can see into my yard. I need a lot of varying heights but didn't know where to start and I didn't know there were such pretty options
Loved this survey! I want 'em all-not in Zone 6B!-and again made me yearn to live in Zone 7. But you gave me some fine choices for my slightly colder region in SW VA.
My rear neighbor has a menance of a dog acquired during the pandemic. There are some existing evergreens on their side but there are gaps and i have the pleasure of watching the dog poop on the fence line from the deck and kitchen. I need fast growing and wide that gets at least 4 ft. stays green in ohio.
Excited to see another screening video, I’ve watched your previous ones at least a dozen times and have bought several things you recommended so far. I have a running list of things to look for at nurseries now.
I am with Stephanie on this one 100% I LOVE the Roman Candle!! The house we are moving to is twice as big as where I am now. Which means a smaller "green space" for planting, and neighbors seem a bit closer as well. Still will be in that TX. Gulf Coast zone 9b. I believe it will do nicely for me. We will live on Oak Dr. And guess what? Lol LOTS of mature Oaks everywhere! Thank you again for sharing such great information.
Starting in June I planted over 50 trees and shrubs in my yard myself here in northeast OK. 20 are Japanese maples from North Carolina😉 Had I saw this video prior I would have made a few different choices!!! Thank you Jim!
We planted a Taylor Juniper in Spring 2022 and it looks like it is still the same size when planted (2 years later) so it is definitely slow growing. Hoping it will only reach 15’ high in our zone 5 but it is a beautiful little evergreen.
I have had deer lightly snacking on my illicium. Usually it is the young deer that take nibbles and then spit it out but we have an extremely heavy deer population. Thanks for the great plant videos!!
I’m glad you said that about the Illicium’s seeming wimpy at first. I just planted Coppertop Viburnum and they get wilty in the afternoon heat. I know once they’re established they’ll be fine. S. Texas ✌🏼🌿
Interesting comparison about the photinia (redtip) shrubs - I used to have several that I used to conceal a neighbor's outdoor utility shed. They did catch the silvery mildew virus, which I successfully treated with something recommended by our state agricultural extension agent. In later years they simply became overgrown for the location and I had them removed and stumps dug up in order to create a new smaller shrub bed. Those podocarpus plants are very interesting! I may have to get one in the not-too-distant future!
Thanks for this! Our arborvitaes suffered this past summer, so going to have to do the mixed screen you've suggested multiple times. We'd planted those before watching your channel. I'd be planting on top of a retaining wall, would any of your recommendations possibly have aggressive roots that would damage that retaining wall with it's roots? Thanks for all you do, Jim and Steph!
Thanks for the great video. Did you mention Schip Laurel? I've just planted 4 of these, and while I had an issue with overwatering (my fault) this summer, they are growing great now and look like they'll make a great screening.
That last one was interesting. I’m probably at the northern edge of its range in Knoxville. The American holly I planted this spring seems to be doing well. It should get big eventually. 👍🏼
Hi Hort I have problem with my misting heads, which is dripping after each cycle , i managed to get the mist heads u put on the description on the backyard propagation series,
Broad-leaf evergreens are dearest to my heart. Loved your video! FYI, the photo you showed with Illicium henryi was not correct, but I. henryi is a gem in my 7A yard. Please do a show on wet-tolerant broad-leaf evergreens! I know you mentioned that Illicium was tolerate of wet sites, but curious about others. I would imagine Sabal minor and Agarista populifolia might be good ones, but need more ideas.
I have a fairly newly planted moonbeam hydrangea about 1 1/2 ft tall. A rabbit bit it off ,almost to the ground . Will it come back , if not this year , maybe next year? Love your videos
In my previous landscape, there was a holly tree at least 25-30 feet tall. When it bloomed, the pollinators made the tree sound like it was singing. I hated the leaves it shed because they were sharp and didn't seem to want to decompose! However, from walking our county botanical garden I see that Holly is a favorite I guess because it handles the sand and salt so well. Plus, it is beautiful in winter with the dark green leaves and red berries. Now, I am 10 minutes from the coast and a new landscape to create. Is there a holly that has leaves that won't be weapons on my bare feet and would do well against the north side of my house?
We’ve had horrible, record high heat and drought in south Mississippi this summer and Leyland Cypress, Green Giant arborvitae, and green emerald arborvitae have really suffered.
Hi! Great video, we are planning to work on our yard next year and these are great selections! What is the plant Next to the illicium ? (in 25:23) and how big does it get? thanks!
Excellent video! I'm searching for a fast growing evergreen shrub (4 to 6 hours full sun) for a 15' to 20' tall privacy hedge. Mackie Podocarpus looks like it could work but what about Nellie Stevens or Skip Laurel maybe? Anyone know of other good options?
I’m adding a narrow screen this fall & think the mood ring podocarpus would look fantastic… 3-4ft apart? I have about 15ft to work with and it ends in a corner would these look best in a hedge or mixed border? Thanks for the informative video!
Sir i have a quick question but first and foremost I've watched a lot of your videos and they are very helpful and informational here is the question can you plant the Nellie R stevens Holly and Robin Red Holly together to make a privacy fence?
How far from the property line do you recommend planting these screening plants? For example, if you have a 20’ spread should it be 10’ from the property line? I ask since I don’t have a back fence and need screening plants on the side of a particular neighbor however they are very cranky about anything on “their” side. Thank you!
Love the selection but most of its not hardy here in zone 6 southern Ontario. It seems s I’m just one zone short of a wonderful selection of evergreen shrubs.
What do you recommend for zone 5? We have a deer problem, so the Giant Green Arbs have all been eaten. Looking for an evergreen with a wide base that grows quickly and gets fairly tall. Love the videos! Really interesting seeing all the different varieties
Can you share why spruces and pines are an absolute no? Umbrella pines can provide a fine glossy texture to mix in to a privacy hedge - and by choosing one that is a soft yellow can really brighten up your space. And, oriental spruces depending on the cultivar, can also provide color which intensifies in winter -- and you get gorgeous pink red cones that look really get in the spring…. There are variegated conifers too. It is simply a matter of shopping in the right places.
I love these broadleaf evergreens. I have a camellia April Love that grows in my zone 6b garden and blooms in april. I would like to grow that ligustrum recurvifolium and you had a video where you mentioned you could push these a bit. We rarely get temps below zero 2-3 blocks from lake Erie, more mild than even a mile or two inland. What conditions do I need to maintain to have the best chance of pushing something like that to grow in my area?
Hi Jim, you mentioned Bigfoot Cleyera in passing, but didn’t feature it. Is there something you like less about it, or it’s not as interesting as the others?
Loved this video..but.. I was wondering why you didn’t mention elaeagnus and viburnums? I’m in 9b,Houston TX. Normally we don’t experience very cold winter weather but we deal with hot and humid summers. Any recommendations short of moving?
I love all your video and very informative. I newly move to the Raleigh, Durham area. What nurseries can I visit to purchase some of the plants, specially in this video. Thank yoy
Great video! Any thoughts on Chindo Viburnum? Or any concerns that kept it off this list? Having just put a few in the ground I'm wondering if I'll need to save this video to reference for some replacements.
Can you really plant a camellia in Zone 6 -- in Northern New England? My understanding is that only a subset of the Ackerman series is Zone 6A, and even those are not recommended for areas North of NYC other than places like Martha’s Vineyard (which is Zone 7A in places).
I goofed on the last one. That is Illicium parviflorum and not I. floridanum. I have covered the plant many times and just had a talking brain misfire. Thanks for watching!
How did you know I was looking for evergreen shrubs
This evergreen series is probably the most helpful series you have ever done... and that's saying a lot with your valuable content! I love it!
I’m late to the game but am slowly but surely working through older videos and getting my HortTube education. The foundation plant playlist is MASSIVE and massively helpful. Thank you! 🌱🌿🍂🍁
I need this video. So helpful for collecting my thoughts and narrowing things down. Thanks Jim!

It depends on the plant. Just divide the ultimate width of the plant by 2 and put them that far off the line. Some of these stay super narrow
Love the selection but most of its not hardy here in zone 6 southern Ontario. It seems s I’m just one zone short of a wonderful selection of evergreen shrubs.
What do you recommend for zone 5? We have a deer problem, so the Giant Green Arbs have all been eaten. Looking for an evergreen with a wide base that grows quickly and gets fairly tall. Love the videos! Really interesting seeing all the different varieties
Can you recommend a shrub for a pretty shaded area, but then will get afternoon sun for about three hours.
This is my exact situation- have you found anything???
up here in zone 5 looking for something other than rhodies , laurel or spruce and pines.
I have more of these coming. I'm breaking them down into 20 plants per video.
Can you share why spruces and pines are an absolute no?

@@emmalavenham because the lower branches allways die off and you are left where you started from, with a big window to cover with something.

Hi Jim, you mentioned Bigfoot Cleyera in passing, but didn’t feature it. Is there something you like less about it, or it’s not as interesting as the others?
It will be in the next one!
A good site if you live in the South; not so much if you're Zone 6 or lower.
Great video! Do you have any thoughts on Eagleston Hollies?
Loved this video..but.. I was wondering why you didn’t mention elaeagnus and viburnums? I’m in 9b,Houston TX. Normally we don’t experience very cold winter weather but we deal with hot and humid summers. Any recommendations short of moving?
Yoshino cryptomeria for my Christmas tree this year and then somewhere in my landscape!! As usual, great info!!!
Hi Jim, was just wondering what the growth rate is for the mood ring podocarpus. Thanks!

It's in the next one of these. Great screening plant
Looking for privacy next to pool that won’t shed into pool any suggestions
Can you really plant a camellia in Zone 6 -- in Northern New England? My understanding is that only a subset of the Ackerman series is Zone 6A, and even those are not recommended for areas North of NYC other than places like Martha’s Vineyard (which is Zone 7A in places).
Interesting!
